SENSHI 31: Gladiators Returns To Plovdiv’s Ancient Theatre; Tickets Now On Sale

Thriving kickboxing promotion SENSHI has announced that tickets are now available for their next event, when they kick off the summer season with an open-air striking showcase.

SENSHI 31: Gladiators takes place on Saturday, May 30th, in one of Europe’s oldest cities, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. There, the promotion returns to the stunning Ancient Theatre of Plovdiv, playing host to a one-night 8-man kickboxing Grand Prix in the 70kg bracket that will see a new champion crowned by the evening’s end and promises to be an unforgettable night of fights.

The return to the Ancient Theatre follows last year’s trip in May 2025, where SENSHI 26 encapsulated the gladiatorial spirit in the Roman-era venue. That night, the main event saw Andrei Kedves take home the European lightweight championship with a third-round knockout of Bulgaria’s own Dragomir Petrov, along with 6 knockouts in 11 thrilling bouts from Vladislav Kanchev, veteran Francesco Xhaja and Surat Garayev.

SENSHI aims to continue embracing the roots of combat sports history inside the iconic venue, honouring the legendary arena’s hallowed grounds through one of the most stacked divisions in kickboxing. The occasion will also be marked by the appearances of several fighting legends in Ernesto Hoost, Andy Souwer, Semmy Schilt and Albert Kraus.

The international promotion’s calendar promises five major tournaments throughout 2026, and the second of which goes down just over a month away.

All the action goes down on 30th May, from 7:30pm EET/12:30pm EST. Tickets can be purchased online at Eventim.bg. Prices range from £18/€21 to £44/€51, including VIP packages, which are expected to sell fast.

Contests and competitors in the Grand Prix are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, as well as more gripping striking showcases elsewhere on the card. For travelling fans, the irreplicable venue promises to be a night of unforgettable action in one of the world’s oldest and most unique arenas.
